I have never said liberal media spin was overstating the problem. As a
matter of fact, I don't recall READING any liberal media spin that
STATED the problem.
Like I said, I'm not much of a financial wiz, and really don't want to be.
When my wife and I got married, she asked me who was going to take care
of the money I told her I HOPED she would, and asked why?
"Because, I'm looking at your desk. There's a 3 day old pay check that
hasn't been deposited (this was before automatic payroll deposits), a
consulting check for $800 that's 2 weeks old, and a returned check notice."
To which I replied "yep".
